Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer faces the sidelines once again. Dyer, who picked up the injury on Saturday during the Mapgies' 1-0 FA Cup victory over Southampton, will be out of action for three weeks with a hamstring strain.

Saturday's game against Southampton was first start for about six months, after suffering from injury and health related problems.

Glenn Roeder: "We are positive that in no longer than three weeks Kieron will be training again.

"At the moment there isn't a major concern that, with the scan showing a very mild strain.

"Because it's Kieron, you can never put an absolute definite date on it, but we the important thing is we are keeping Kieron positive and he is keeping himself positive."

Titus Bramble will also miss around three-weeks of action as he picked up a knock last night, as Newcastle drew 0-0 with charlton, and was forced to limp out of the match just 10 minutes after the half-time restart. 

Roeder added: "Titus felt a sharp pain in his hamstring, but at this moment, the physio could not give you an accurate assessment of his condition.

"He's having it iced and it needs to cool down overnight and we will have a look at it on Thursday, and he will probably end up having a scan in about two days' time.

"The physio is hopeful in the way Titus is talking to him that it will be a very, very small tear rather than something major.

"He hasn't got a history of hamstring problems so there's every chance he could be out there again playing within three weeks."
